Breath, Rhythm & Music for your Wellbeing

Join CFA professor Dr. Igor Iwanek and live musicians in learning the practice of Rhythmic Breath Control (RBC). Imagine your body is hardware and your mind is software. How do we keep this machine charged? RBC teaches you to create a power station for your body and mind using breath and musical rhythm. Studies have shown how we breathe relates to how healthy we are, and in this interactive session, we’ll learn powerful ancient techniques designed to promote emotional resilience and holistic wellbeing. Learning Objectives: 1. Improve cognitive performance and self-management in stressful situations with RBC. 2. Learn to recreate the profound relaxation of deep sleep, on demand. 3. Understand the power of breath to overcome overwhelming thoughts, stabilize the mind and energize the body. Program is a collaboration by Student Wellbeing, College of Fine Arts, Arts Initiative, Center for Teaching & Learning and Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground.
